static content in Access Report

[sbuelter]

Hello,

I am building an access report that is essentially a form letter that I will automatically fax to the recipient when a button is clicked on a form.

I have the form, faxing issues totally solved, however I can not figure out how to create lots of static content on a report. The dynamic content is the company name, address, etc in the header then 5 rows of pricing in the detail section. Now I need to add about 2 pages of text...(like a word doc) When I try to do this, the text seems to just fold to the next page no matter where I put the text or how I break it into small text boxes.

Does this make sense? If anyone has experience with this, I would appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Scott

In the Report design go to the menu bar and go to Insert - Object. When the wizard opens tick the Create New option and go down the list until you reach Microsoft Word. This will open a word document on your report where you can insert all your body text.

When you close this it will appear on your form as a very large text box.
